Soldered BIOS Repair Service

We offer a Soldered BIOS Repair Service for SPI Serial Flash, PLCC and VSOP type EEPROM's. This procedure should be the final attempt at repair before replacing the motherboard. Please read the terms and conditions on the soldered BIOS repair page before using the service

Pre Flashed BIOS Chips

Preflashed BIOS Chips are available for some motherboards and the range is expanding. If I receive a lot of requests for a particular model then I will add it to the Pre flashed BIOS Chip section.

BIOS Recovery

BIOS Recovery can sometimes be accomplished by following the makers recovery options eliminating the need to make use of this service.

Providing your floppy drive tries to access the disk during the boot process then there is hope that any recovery option may be successful.
Some boards have a recovery jumper that can be used to reload a damaged BIOS boot block, read your motherboard makers manual.

If you have had a crash or power cut during the update procedure then it is doubtful that any recovery option will work, you will probably need to re flash the BIOS chip using a programmer.

Flashing with the wrong BIOS code can also render your board or device non functional, or present you with other problems.
